Good morning ladies. My heart is so full this morning and I wish I had the space of an entire book to share what the FATHER has been writing on my heart over the last couple of weeks. I will do my best to be brief this morning, but what I want to share with you today is so huge. With all of my heart I believe that if we (believers in general) could grasp the following truth WE WOULD WALK IN FREEDOM. Let's look into the WORD this morning.
Psalm 107:20 says: HE sent HIS WORD and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions (pit).
There are so many places in the WORD of GOD where I find myself stopping and saying..."That's it FATHER...that is the testimony that YOU have given me...that is the thing that YOU have done in my life and my heart." The words in the verse above also shout that same thought this morning.
Ladies, I was a train wreck....I was a walking disaster BUT GOD...
HE called to my heart and HE said to me, "CHILD OF MINE....this is NOT at all what I have in mind for you...WILL YOU OBEY MY VOICE."
In the course of the last several years I have many times spoken with hurting women who ask, "Vicky, how did your life change so radically? Why are you different today?"
I suppose I could answer that question in a lot of ways, but the truth of the matter is simply this: I AM DIFFERENT TODAY BECAUSE GOD SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED ME. Don't miss that....it truly is ONLY THE WORD OF GOD in me that has changed my life. Please understand that I realize you might be sitting there saying..."Vicky, that's ridiculous." Ladies, GOD's WORD truly does HOLD the healing that you so desperately want, but much more important than that is this:
GOD'S WORD to you and to me IS the LORD JESUS HIMSELF. (Look at John 1:1)
When people say to me, "I can't read the Bible...it makes no sense...I get confused." My immediate thought (and often the words that come out of my mouth) is this: "If you choose not to come to the WORD then you will never get any better than you are today."
Does that sound harsh to you this morning? If so, I am sorry, but it is reality. You see, what I have come to know over the last nearly 5 years is this: GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL TO HIS WORD.....HE ALWAYS DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO.
My question to you this morning is DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE HAS SAID HE WILL DO FOR YOU?
There is so much richness in the WORD of GOD....so much that HE wants to say to our hearts that HE KNOWS WE NEED TO HEAR, but we keep running the other way by active disobedience. The healing that I found in the WORD of GOD, that I know HE has for you, is a secondary thing. The healing cannot be the goal. I spent a lot of time saying to GOD, "Why aren't you fixing this pain....why aren't you taking this out of my life? Why do I have to hurt so bad all the time? The healing HE had for me and that HE has for you comes as a natural byproduct of a RELATIONSHIP with HIM. Without the relationship the healing is of no value.
I was reading part of Genesis 22 this morning...GOD asked Abraham to give HIM Isaac...If you love ME, then give ME your son...You see GOD knew that if Abraham loved Isaac more than HE loved GOD he was doomed to a life of defeat.
In February of 2002 the FATHER stood before me and said, "VICKY, if you truly want to be free....if you love ME (or have any desire to KNOW and LOVE ME)....let go of the past hurt and heart ache that you keep on wrapping yourself in and give it to me."

What is the correlation? It's simple....GOD asked me to let go of the thing that HE knew stood between victory and failure. When Abraham said, BY HIS ACTION, that he was willing to obey...GOD BLESSED HIS LIFE. When I said, BY ACTION, that I was willing to give HIM the very thing that stood between HIM and I....HE OPENED MY EYES TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD. The action required was simple obedience to what HE asked for.

I will leave you this morning with a quote from Oswald Chambers...
As I read these words this morning my heart said..."Thank you FATHER."
" The promises of God are of no value to us until by obedience we understand the nature of God. We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up. "All the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen." The "yea" must be born of obedience; when by the obedience of our lives we say "Amen" to a promise, then that promise is ours."

FATHER, THIS MORNING I ASK YOU TO GIVE THE LADIES A NEW HUNGER FOR YOUR WORD. OPEN THEIR EYES AND HELP THEM TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE ALL THAT IS NECESSARY TO GUARANTEE VICTORY....WE MUST LEARN TO WALK OBEDIENTLY AND APPROPRIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. WRITE YOUR WORD ON OUR HEARTS AND TEACH US TO BE WOMEN WHO WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL THE WORLD. THANK YOU FOR THE PRACTICALITY OF YOUR WORD TO OUR LIVES. THANK YOU THAT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WILL TEACH US IF WE WILL COME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU JESUS....DO THE THING THAT ONLY YOU CAN DO IN EACH OF OUR LIVES. AMEN
